Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 

What’s New

These features make Adobe Premiere Pro an even better choice for on-set and dailies workflows 
when working with RED content, offering deep control over crucial color settings in the context of 
an efficient native workflow, and enable close integration with REDCINE-X software via RMD 
interchange.

Building on its industry-leading native file-based format support, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 offers 
enhanced native support for Canon XF footage. Now you can preview XF footage in the Project 
panel, view and edit camera metadata in the Metadata panel, and take advantage of metadata 
throughout your pre- and post-production workflows.

The Media Browser panel in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 lets you navigate to and select XF files, 
which can now be displayed as video clips instead of files and folders. Because Adobe Premiere Pro 
supports the XF format natively, the files import immediately, without transcoding or rewrapping, 
preserving the pristine quality of the original source footage along with all of the valuable 
metadata associated with the clips.

In addition, the Media Browser now treats spanned clips from Canon XF video cameras as a single 
asset. When dragged from the Media Browser panel into the Project panel, spanned clips are 
displayed as one file, preventing clutter.

Reviewing works in progress typically involves uploading files to 
an FTP site, sending email notifications to let the appropriate 
parties know they can download the files, and then scheduling 
meetings to get feedback. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 provided a 
powerful way to conduct reviews thanks to integration with Adobe 
CS Review*

, making it easier for clients and teammates to review 

and make frame-accurate comments on works in progress. 
Integration with Adobe CS Review*

 enables:

• Clients and teammates to take part in reviewing video sequences 

using just a web browser and easy-to-use annotation tools 

• Reviewers to make 

frame-accurate comments 
that visually correlate to 
the Adobe Premiere Pro 
timeline. 

• You to hold fewer real-time 

meetings by reducing 
confusion over which 
frames comments pertain 
to.

A new dialog box in Adobe 
Premiere Pro CS5.5 lets you 
use preset export settings 
that are optimized for CS

 to quickly encode 

your sequence or clips, and 
then send them to CS 
Review. Because the 
encoding is handled by 
Adobe Media Encoder (a 
separate 64-bit application 

The new export settings dialog box in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 provides visual 

feedback and convenient presets for tailoring encoding for output to Adobe CS

With Relay Recording, Canon 
XF cameras automatically switch 
recording from internal memory to 
CF cards when their internal drive 
becomes full, so recording continues 
uninterrupted, creating spanned clips.
